 Respected Sir/Ma'am,

     I am having issues related to activation of windows. My windows edition is now- Windows 10 Home Insider Preview. Earlier it was Windows 10 Home.

After upgrading to Windows 10 Insider Preview 17063.1000 (rs_prerelease) in Fast Ring last Saturday , I am having problems with activating windows now.

Error is showing - 'We can't activate Windows on this device because you don't have a valid digital license or key.' (Error Code: 0x83fa067). Even earlier error code was showing (0x803f7001).

    I have contacted the customer care this morning but all approach or remedy solutions that the representatives provided failed and the error is still persisting.

    I purchased it from retail shop on 2/9/2016. It has inbuilt windows 10 home product and the representatives of customer care said it got genuine OEM product key. Please guide me through the solutions. Tried slui 4 and failed. Tried slui 3 and then message box came up, I typed my product id on the box. But all in vain. Nothing is changed. Please help. 

 Yours Thankfully,

 Rishav Saha

Microsoft is currently investigating the activation issue, but so far no solutions.

 

"ADDED 12/21: We are investigating reports that Windows shows that it “needs activation” and trying to activate fails after upgrading to Build 17063."
